I don't think the Venn diagram of War Thunder players and aerospace engineers (or whatever) is small at all. I mean, you can't help what you're into, and if you chose to study and/or work with planes, you probably like planes. Enough to play a video game about them. 3 out of the 7 aerospace engineers I know play War Thunder, which is not insignificant. (And 2 of those play KSP.) I mean, why do you think so many engineers in general play Factorio?

Now, within the group of War Thunder && Aerospace Engineers, there are obviously a few morons, as with any group. Enough to risk their jobs, yes, is surprising.

I think it's higher than a half dozen. I'm looking for the article I read yesterday, but I do know it was 7 leaks in like February this year.

Edit: There's been 12 total, the latest being this week, and the one before being end of August.
The article: https://nichegamer.com/war-thunder-player-spreads-restricted-documentation-on-f-117-nighthawk/
The Wiki:

If you scroll down to the leaks section it lists them all out.
